Golf is a strange game. It’s the only game where one can play poorly for an entire afternoon, only to have all of their anger and wind-thrown curses erased by a chip-in birdie on 17. It’s a game that has been placed on a pedestal, philosophized and deified to a level far beyond that of blades and balls.

It’s an explosive mixture, equal parts confidence and crazy. To grip it is to take control. To rip it is to relinquish it.
